Dark

Delve into the darker side of classical music. Many of these composers were not short of their troubled thoughts and it was only through music that they could really express their feelings. From Requiems (music for the deceased) to the devil's fiddle, ghosts and death – all are part of this troubled and dark selection of great classical works.
  • 1. MACABRE WALTZ 00:01:27 THIS FAST MOVEMENT OPENS WITH A ROBUST THEME, INTRODUCED BY THE PIANO AND SHARED WITH THE STRINGS. FAURE'S MELODIES ARE VIBRANT AND RHYTHMICALLY COMPELLING. THE MOVEMENT PROGRESSES WITH EXUBERANCE, FEATURING LIVELY INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE PIANO AND STRINGS. SHIFTING RHYTHMS AND NIMBLE PASSAGES ALLOW EACH INSTRUMENT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SPIRITED MUSICAL TEXTURE.
